ELO Network is pleased to announce that Ronald Blue of Indianapolis, IN, USA, an entrepreneurial leader in the field of Christian financial planning for over 40 years, will be speaking at the ELO Forum Toronto 2024 on Dec 4th! 

Ron Blue founded Ronald Blue & Co, a CPA firm, that transitioned into Ronald Blue Trust, which serves over 10,000 clients and manages over US$16 billion in assets. He founded or co-founded the National Christian Foundation, which disburses over $1 billion per year to evangelical causes; Kingdom Advisors, which trains thousands of Christian financial advisors to integrate biblical wisdom into their financial advice; and most recently, The Ron Blue Institute for Financial Planning, committed to bringing biblical financial wisdom into academia. Ron retired from the financial planning firm in 2003 in order to lead Kingdom Advisors.

Ron is the author of seventeen books on personal finance from a biblical perspective, including the best-seller, Master Your Money, first published in 1986 and now in its thirtieth printing, Wealth to Last, co-authored with Larry Burkett, and his most recent book, Faith Based Family Finances. He is featured in the popular, six-part Master Your Money video series, produced by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries and used in over 5,500 churches across the country.

Ron has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including Focus on the Family, Family News in Focus, The 700 Club, Prime Time America, and Moody Radio Open Line. He is a regular contributor to several national Christian magazines. Ron has also testified before a U.S. Senate subcommittee.

Ron currently serves on the Board of Directors of Campus Crusade for Christ, Crown Financial Ministries, and The National Christian Foundation. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of The Maclellan Foundation and The Sandra and William B. Johnson Foundation, Inc. He formerly served on the Board of Directors of Family Research Council, Promise Keepers, Insight for Living, The Medical Institute, and Walk Thru the Bible Ministries.

In 2002, Ron received the HONORS AWARD from the Georgia Chapter of the Financial Planning Association (FPA). In 2003, he received the honored designation of DISTINGUISHED ENTREPRENEUR from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, his alma mater.

The ELO Forums are one-day events that bring Christians in business together to learn from a great roster of expert presenters, connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, and grow in their faith. Peers of kindred spirit connect. Attendees get outside of their usual circles and make new contacts. Relationships are created, renewed, and strengthened. Attendees and speakers come together from around the globe. There is plenty of information and inspiration but most importantly, the benefits last throughout the year and beyond.

We have organized over 70 events since 2005 and host our ELO Forums annually in Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Toronto, to reach business leaders from all areas of Canada and across the globe. This year's ELO Forum Toronto on Wednesday, December 4th, will take place at the Four Points by Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel and feature a full day of top speakers from throughout North America. 

Some testimonials from our ELO Forum Toronto 2023 attendees include:

“God’s kingdom expands through meaningful relationships and ELO Forum is a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded Canadian business leaders and see God's kingdom expand in Canada.”

“Excellent lineup of speakers. The event helps reframe my mindset each year on how God wants to use me in the marketplace.”

“Incredible opportunity to grow professionally and personally in a faith-based leadership setting.”
